Ethan Happ, Wisconsin ($9,000 FD, $11,000 DK): The most consistent force in both real-life and DFS college basketball this season, Happ is playing his way into a first-team All-American bid. He's had under 30 FanDuel points just once this season, and averages 40 on the year. Minnesota has plenty of size in the paint to contend with Happ in Jordan Murphy (6-7), Daniel Oturu (6-10) and the recently-returned Eric Curry (6-9).

It may have been an off game by his standards, but Happ is generally as matchup proof as it gets.

Carsen Edwards, Purdue ($8,600 FD, $10,100 DK): Through five games in December, Edwards is averaging 36.5 FanDuel points, with nights of 46 and 50 mixed in. While Big Ten matchups are generally regarded as slow paced, Iowa's tempo ranks No. 128 nationwide (per KenPom), while their defense lies outside the top-100.
